Chapter 27: Apprenticeship Banquet
As a kind of elixir used to assist cultivation, Xiao Yuan Dan contains more concentrated spiritual energy than the outside world. After taking it, it can increase the speed of cultivation. It is a kind of elixir that all warriors desire.
There are hundreds of thousands of ordinary warriors in Qinghe City. It is extremely difficult for them to get a Xiao Yuan Dan.
The members of the martial arts family can get a Xiao Yuan Dan from the family every few months. Among them, the outstanding ones can even get one or two Xiao Yuan Dan every month.
At the level of the three major families, the collateral family members can basically guarantee one Xiao Yuan Dan every month, while the direct family members and the outstanding family members can get five to ten every month.
As for people like Su Chen who can eat Xiao Yuan Dan as candy beans, he is the only one in the entire Qinghe City.
Su Chen swallowed the Xiao Yuan Dan, and the pill went down the esophagus into the stomach. The medicinal power dissolved in the stomach and turned into a warm heat flow that spread in the body, moisturizing the blood, flesh and meridians, which was indescribably comfortable.
While the medicinal power was still there, Su Chen began to operate the "Chaos Immortal Record" to absorb the medicinal power in his body.
The "Chaos Immortal Record" is not only extremely magical in absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but also in absorbing medicinal power. Its magic lies in the 100% absorption of all energy without any waste.
As we all know, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is a kind of energy. The magic of the "Chaos Immortal Record" lies in the fact that when the "Chaos Immortal Record" is operated to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, all the spiritual energy absorbed into the body can be absorbed 100% and transformed into the true qi in the dantian.
The same is true when absorbing medicinal power. When the "Chaos Immortal Record" is operated to absorb medicinal power, all medicinal power can be absorbed 100% without any waste.
Generally speaking, depending on the individual's physique, after taking the Xiaoyuan Dan, the medicinal power that can be absorbed by the Qi-inducing Realm warrior is about 20% to 50%, and the rest is wasted.
However, Su Chen can absorb 100% of the medicinal power, and this alone can bring him an incomparable advantage.
At this moment, Su Chen's mind was in a state of concentration and he entered a state of cultivation without distraction.
…
Time flies.
Ten days passed in a flash.
Su Chen consumed ten small Yuandan, and his cultivation reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Induction Realm. He only needed the last line to break through to the ninth level of Qi Induction Realm.
"It's time to go out and get some fresh air."
Su Chen knew that if he wanted to improve his strength, it was not possible to rely on closed-door training. Actual combat and state of mind were both indispensable. Therefore, no warrior would lock himself in the room and practice the skills day and night to absorb spiritual energy. That would only be counterproductive.
In his current situation, it is not suitable to continue to practice in the room. This would make it easier to fail to break through and form a bottleneck.
At this time, it is often necessary to walk out of the closed-door room to find opportunities for breakthroughs.
"Speaking of which, the hundred-year-old Zhiyang grass should be refined into pills for my aunt as soon as possible. It seems that it is time to find a good pill furnace."
Su Chen walked out of the yard, but found that the Jiang family was decorated with lights and there were servants coming and going everywhere. The whole Jiang family mansion seemed very busy.
However, unlike before, although these servants were very busy, when they saw Su Chen, they would at least stop and call out: "Master Su Chen."
Instead of ignoring Su Chen or pointing fingers like before.
Su Chen grabbed a servant at random and asked: "Is there any happy event in the mansion?"
The servant glanced at Su Chen. Although Su Chen did not show up during this period, the Jiang family had been discussing what happened to the Tian clan. Su Chen actually defeated Jiang Minghao and Jiang Mingxuan, two direct young masters, with the cultivation of the eighth level of Qi Induction Realm, and reversed the evaluation of him by most people in the Jiang family.
After all, the most respected and admired people in the martial arts world are geniuses. Su Chen's ability to defeat Jiang Mingxuan is enough to prove that his martial arts talent is very strong.
At that moment, the servant bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Master Su Chen, today the third master will host a banquet for several alchemists from the Alchemy Guild at home, and all the clansmen will attend."
"A banquet for people from the Alchemy Guild?"
The servant nodded heavily, and couldn't help but look happy: "It seems that Master Minghao's alchemy talent has been valued by Master Qian of the Alchemy Guild, and he wants to accept him as a registered disciple. Tonight is the apprenticeship banquet."
There is also a bit of pride in his words, as if he is honored.
Jiang Minghao?
His defeated general?
Su Chen smiled lightly. No wonder the Jiang family is so happy. You know, not everyone can be an alchemist. There are very few ordinary warriors with alchemy talent, otherwise the status of alchemists would not be so high.
Not to mention, those who are valued by the official alchemists of the Alchemy Guild and accepted as apprentices will surely be very successful in the future. Jiang Minghao is really lucky.
However, Su Chen was not interested in this and asked, "Where is my aunt?"
At this time, Xu Yin and Jiang Tingyi, mother and daughter, dressed in their best clothes, walked out of the room opposite.
Xu Yin saw Su Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, you came out just in time. Will you go to the banquet tonight with us?"
Su Chen shook his head and said, "No, I have something else to do."
Xu Yin was about to say something else when another servant came hurriedly and said to Su Chen, "Master Su Chen, the third master asked me to invite you to attend the banquet tonight."
"Jiang He?" Xu Yin asked suspiciously, "Why would he specifically invite Xiao Chen to attend the banquet?"
"I don't know, anyway, this is the third master's order, and I have already conveyed the message." The servant said, turned around and left.
Xu Yin looked at Su Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, you'd better not go. Jiang He must have bad intentions."
Su Chen smiled lightly, "No, I want to go."
"You want to go?" Xu Yin was also confused. Su Chen had just said he would not go, so why did he suddenly change his mind now?
Su Chen said, "Last time Jiang Minghao was defeated by me in front of everyone, Jiang He must be upset. Now the alchemist of the Alchemy Association has taken a fancy to Jiang Minghao and wants to take him as a registered disciple. Jiang He will definitely not miss this opportunity. He wants to prove in front of everyone in the Jiang family that his son is still a hundred times better than me."
"In this case, you can't go even more. Jiang He clearly wants to use you as a foil for Jiang Minghao." Xu Yin said.
Su Chen smiled faintly: "If he wants to use me as a foil, he also needs to see if he has the ability?"
"But, Jiang Minghao is said to have some talent in alchemy..." Xu Yin was a little worried. Xiao Chen is indeed talented in martial arts, but I have never heard that Xiao Chen can also make alchemy.
"Don't worry, aunt, let's go!" Su Chen's tone was still calm.
